Amazon is not in the subject line but I’m posting this here, just because.

Amazon just walked out on its self-checkout technology
https://www.engadget.com/amazon-just-walked-out-on-its-self-checkout-technology-191703603.html


The technology has been plagued by issues from the onset. Most notably, Just Walk Out merely presents the illusion of automation, with Amazon crowing about generative AI and the like. Here’s where the smoke and mirrors come in. While the stores have no actual cashiers, there are reportedly over 1,000 real people in India scanning the camera feeds to ensure accurate checkouts.

:rofl:

I was going to comment that iRobot was left out because I thought Amazon had acquired them. It turns out that fell through due to European anti-trust concerns.

I love our Roomba but had ruled out an upgrade because I don't want an Amazon spy roaming our house. Now that's on the table again, so I'm happy. But iRobot had their own privacy snafu.

Turns out that was from a development version of the robot, but it's an example of the risk.

AI-MING HIGHER New Google footage teases future of AI-generated movies with DeepMind tool that even creates soundtracks for videos (https://www.the-sun.com/tech/11677209/new-google-ai-generated-movies-deepmind/)


"Video generation models are advancing at an incredible pace, but many current systems can only generate silent output. One of the next major steps toward bringing generated movies to life is creating soundtracks for these silent videos," Google wrote.
